i have to say here that the chess origins theme is in itself a highly complex one, with many nuances and theories. anyway, the tradiditional and most accepted view is that chess originated in India, a fact which fits well in this thread.

Samhain This ole facade of people pretending they're whites ashamed of their heritage and history is often used on internet forums, you're not very original and certainly have zero European heritage. Now perhaps some brain fodder for you: Greco-Roman foundations were lost all over Europe during the dark ages. The Moors (Turks, Syrians that is) are credited with maintaining some form of education in Iberia, the Irish Scholastic monks are credited with northern Europe, central Europe and northern Italy, the area where the later Renaissance would emerge from. The Irish monks were already setting up centres of learning even before the first Moor crossed over to Iberia. As in most areas of life, most people have a good opportunity to be exposed to some form of knowledge and learning, but it's what you do with it that counts. Greek (mental concept) and Roman (physical concept)contributions lay the foundations, everywhere else in Europe built them up to create the modern society we have today. The greatest mathematicians, Scientists of the last 1000 years have came from Europe, the latin script forms the basis of most alphabets, Greeks are credited with Maths more than anyone else and John Napier is credited with the decimal point. Every single worthwhile contribution in life can be linked to a European.quote]>> What the hell are you talking about? Irish Monks? It was Giovanni Aurispa from Noto(Sicily), a 14th century humanist and book merchant who collected 578 Greek manuscripts, including Homer's Iliad, who was the one to greatly contribute to the Italian Renaissance. The Italians taught the bristish and the rest of Europe not the other way around,your nothing but some kindve deranged Anglophile or Northern Eurocentrist. The Italian Renaisance actually is from central and Southern Italy not Northern,and had nothing to do with The British Isles or Northern Europe.From italy it spread to France, from France to the rest of Europe. On side note: Stone Henge wanst even made by the Druids or British people,it was done long before by North Africans(Neolithic Peoples) St.Patrick was born Patricius Magonus Sucatus ,he was of Italian heritige or partial atleast,cause he was a Romano-Briton of highter class.He was also a student of Saint Germanus who was Italian and former Roman General. They where Roman Catholic not Celtic Christians,their no such thing as Celtic Chriestianity,and theirs no Irish people claiming that either...they call themselves either Roman Catholic or Protestant. racialreality.blogspot.com/2004/10/intellectual-centers-of-medieval.htmlAmazing your kind create schools and pioneer thought,but never managed it very well at home.
